3. While water comes to a boil, cut potato into matchsticks or thin semi-circles, add to pot; stir well. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 17 minutes, or until vegetables are very tender. Add broccoli tops and cook another 3 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl of iced water. Boil tiny florets for 30-60 seconds. Drain in a colander and drop into iced water. Drain and spread on a towel to dry.
